White Stagemaster

I thought I would post this for general interest. This white Stagemaster is quite rare, I think. In fact, I have never seen one and didn't even know they existed until I found this photo by accident while looking for something else.

I knew the old type Stagemaster came in red, black, white and purple, but I had never seen a white one until today. Do any of you know anyone who owns one of these?

I like it. I want one.

I also have a Stagemaster. Although quite different from yours. It has no pickguard and an HSH configuration. Also painted headstock seems to be metallic green or black. Looks different in different light. Just bought it off Ebay for a whopping $56.Couple of dings but all in all a nice guitar. Just curiuos how you like the mods you have done. I really like the looks of the Stagemaster. To bad Fender took it and made it the Showmaster. To much of a good thing for Squier, I bet. Like what you are doing with yours...Ed

My Stagemaster, as it is now, is not even in the same league as a stock Stagmaster because all of the original guts literally went in the garbage can. See my final comments on how it sounds now as opposed to what it originally sounded like. I have had a Strat and a Les Paul, and I like the way the Stagemaster sounds better than either of them.

And why not? All it takes is time, effort and a huge bag of cash. :)

I have exactly the same model as shown on the picture, a vintage white old Squier Stagemaster w/ HSH pickups. Mine was made in 1999. Quite a versatile guitar, and the Floyd still works fine (actually holds the tuning better than my other one-year-old Floyd-equipped axe - both Floyds are licenced, not original).
If interested, I can link some photos.

Sure! Send some links, I'd like to see your Stagmaster. Mine is still my main axe and I use it in my band all the time. I just had to do a truss rod adjustment this morning as I was starting to get quite a lot of string buzz. This is the first truss rod adjustment I've had to do on my Stagemaster since I bought it.
